i don't what the big deal is with admission & cost of food.
Same shit people pay for PNE for the same shit. There's always a cost of doing business. As for food being expensive, well that's a given. Sorry this ain't no Thailand / malaysia street food; so paying 1.5 - 2 dollars for a skew is pretty normal nowadays. Heck, cost of inflation yo.
Admit me (and me too), we are just older that's why, when we were kids (minus online shopping), we are all over that shit... remember it first started off at Lansdowne mall back in 01
North Van is a bit less intimating but you really ain't getting the same experience.

Difference is that PNE actually has shows and other things for people to do once you go inside.
The only thing night market has are food stalls and booths that sell China crap that you can order off Aliexpress for cheaper.

PNE never gets old.......... It's too bad they got rid of the Show Mart.
I haven't been on the wooden roller coaster in decades. It's time to ride it again.

Corkscrew is gone with plans on the expansion.
PNE you pay to get in then you don’t have to spend a dime to take in free shows and assuments. Night market = pay to pay

As for RNM, whatever, it's an outing for the family. Go for a walk, get some different food, kid gets to play a couple of games and I see what my next Ebay order will include. It's basically an excuse for the family to get out and do something.

I went to the Coquitlam Farmers Market for the first time ever. It was interestingly different. I can't wait for the FM at Dude Chilling Park to open.
Anyway, there was this East Indian food truck at the Coquitlam FM, can't remember the name of it, but it had these deep fried chips made of either naan type bread or wrap that they included on the side of their main choices. So addictive. My kids are like, really, dad? Subtle spice flavour with some salt. It came with one of the offerings, but I ordered a bag of them for two bucks. Gotta go back next week just for that, lol. It's probably nothing special. kkthind probably has it all the time.
Rocky Point Ice Cream truck was there along with this frenchie baked goods vendor. Pretty good shit. No Chiggers in sight......... just a smattering of CBC's and some Koreans. A good ratio. Quiet and peaceful........ Then there was this dude who was selling Koji Miso soup balls. He was telling his customers how special his miso was. I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't anything special. Hell, Amano Miso, a locally made organic miso is 1001 times better. My brother-in-law's side of the family in Japan makes this miso called Kinzanji Miso. Kinzanji miso itself is nothing special, but they make this one batch once a year that is so amazing that it is served at the Japanese Imperial Palace. It is never sold to the public, but I got to taste it once when brother-in-law's mother brought a small amount back from Japan. And let me tell you, it is heavenly.
It's just that when someone touts their product to be special, it damn well better be. Dude's packaging was good and everything looks very appealing, but the proof is in the pudding. I tried the sample he was giving out, but to truly get the idea of how good miso soup is, you need to have more than just a thimble sized sample.
Anyway, this thread is now about Farmer's Markets and miso soup, gulolol.

I went to both Burnaby FM and the Trout Lake one last Saturday. I usually go to the Riley Park (Nat Bailey), but two is my limit, lol.

Yeah, those beef and lamb skewers at the Richmond night mkt are overpriced. Having said that, I'm still gonna order them at the market.
The best time to get a discount on those skewers is in the last hour of night market when the vendor needs to get rid of inventory. I bargained with the vendor that wears the headset by offering four bucks for 10 skewers. What a deal.

The last time I went, I spent almost $70 between me and my gf. Instant regret, could have had way better sit down meal instead of stale chow mien, rubbery shrimp dumpling. $10 for a fruit drink and $5 lamb skewers.

Made that mistake back then.
With their prices in order to get full, you can take her to the keg and get some beers on top.

$80 spent between two people... Got dragged along even though I insisted I rather spend the $ in an actual restaurant....
Something about Instagram and girlfriends wanting to go....
Fuck me, felt hungry still and had a bad shit afterwards.
$14 for 5 skewers was worth it. Chicken hearts is bomb
Everything else, not!
